Children's Story Project

​

For this project we had to write a children's story in Spanish. The Idea of the book was to create an entertaining story to share at the exhibition and also with friends and family. One of our biggest objectives of this book was our goal to raise 15 dollars and then use that money to send our books to children in different. parts of the world that do not have the ability to afford books themselves. Our Spanish 1 class took it into our hands to give these children a book to read that we worked hard to create.

Dia De Los Muertos is a celebration that Mexicans celebrate to honor the soles of the dead. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember family members and friends who have died. people honor the dead using things like sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed. They will then visit the graves with these gifts. Our task was to recreate dia de los muertos and show people at the the exhibition.

For Dia De Los Muertos, I chose to honor my great grandparents. My parents new alot about my great grandparents. I learned about how they escaped the Armenian genocide and how they had to move to america. I thought it was a good experience at the altar. Many people thought my project was interesting.

Overall, I had a good experience with the Dia De Los Muertos project. I thought learning about my grandparents was a very interesting topic. The exhibition was also very interesting because I got to see who other people were honoring.
